I’m trying to write the simplest UI tests for an Android application(qt) with a QML interface.

In QML components, I set properties via the Accessible object. (qml code at the end)

The Appium test is implemented according to the instructions:

• appium server, UiAutomator2 driver, requirements
• write a test (js)

I have configured the startup parameters so that the application under test runs on AVD (android virtual device)

When I run the test, the application under test runs successfully on AVD, the interface is displayed.

What works fine in the test:

• getting elements using locators

  const passwordInput = await driver.$(‘~PasswordInput’);

• getting information about the coordinates of an element

  await passwordInput.getLocation()

  await passwordInput.getSize()

• clicking on an element.

  await applyButton.click()

But none of the methods for getting text data from an element works:

await passwordInput.getText()             // EMPTY RESULT
await passwordInput.getAttribute('text')  // EMPTY RESULT
await passwordInput.getProperty('text')   // ERROR
await passwordInput.getValue()            // ERROR

Is it possible to read the text of the QML component from the appium test?

=====================================================

Capability Set:

{
  "platformName"          : "Android",
  "appium:platformVersion": "14",
  "appium:deviceName"     : "emulator-XXXX",
  "appium:app"            : "C:/temp/androidtestapp.apk",
  "appium:automationName" : "UiAutomator2"
}

part of main.qml:

TextField {
    id                      : idPasswordInput
    focus                   : true
    Layout.fillWidth        : true
    objectName              : "PasswordInputName"
    text                    : "enter password..."
    Accessible.role         : Accessible.EditableText
    Accessible.name         : "PasswordInput"
    Accessible.description  : "PasswordInput description"
    Accessible.focusable    : true
    Accessible.ignored      : false

    Keys.onPressed: (event)=> {
        console.log("PasswordInput key:", event.key, "/", event.text);
    }
}

Running the test

node C:temptest.js

used:

• Qt 6.7.2
• appium, UiAutomator2, webdriverio – latest versions
